Senior SW Engineer

Описание

Legit Security is a well-funded cybersecurity company backed by top-tier VCs, solving one of the hardest problems in modern software security: how AI-first organizations can ship fast without security slowing them down. They are building the platform that secures the era where AI writes the code- using AI agents to generate secure code, detect vulnerabilities, and remediate them automatically.

This is a builder role. You'll lead technical initiatives end-to-end, design systems from scratch, break ambiguous problems into shippable work, and mentor strong engineers around you.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design and delivery of complex, multi-component features across our cloud-native platform
• Own the architecture for new product areas- make the hard trade-offs, write the design docs, and drive them through review
• Break down vague, AI-shaped problems into concrete engineering work and ship them
• Build and operate systems running at meaningful scale on Kubernetes
• Raise the engineering bar through code review, mentorship, and applying AI tooling to how the team works

Requirements

• 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, including shipping and operating production systems at a commercial product company
• Proven track record of independent technical leadership: you've personally architected systems, written the design docs, and led projects from idea to production- not just implemented someone else's spec
• Strong ability to decompose ambiguous, large-scope projects into clear, shippable tasks
• Hands-on experience operating high-scale production systems- performance, reliability, and cost trade-offs are not theoretical for you
• Deep, daily experience working in Kubernetes-based environments
• AI-first mindset: AI tooling is core to how you build software
• Can speak concretely about how you use AI, where it falls short, and how to design products that leverage LLMs and agents responsibly
• Strong proficiency in at least one modern backend language (C#, Python, Go, Node.js, or Java)
• Comfort working across the stack, including modern frontend (React/TypeScript)
• Solid grounding in relational databases and data modeling, and in at least one major cloud (AWS, GCP, or Azure)

Nice to have

• Background in an elite Israeli military technology unit on top of industry experience
• Startup experience- especially as an early or senior engineer in a fast-growth environment
• Experience building LLM-powered agents, AI products, or security-focused engineering
